24 Is the brazier that little brass thing that's cockeyed? His work on the ewer or vase, or whatever that is, is just amazing. Perfect shadows and shading.

27 A brazier is a sort of table-top firepit, no? For warmth? For lighting yer pipe? Embrace the power of "and"?

But this one looks like my daughter's ice cream bowl after she's applied the sprinkles.

The bowls seem really small as well, not like the English pipes I'm used
to seeing.

In my younger days, I smoked a pipe that was briarwood with a meerschaum lining. I miss it, but chose breathing over smoking.

You might want to review the art work of Konstantin Razumov. His models are easy on the eyes.

Boy, you weren't kidding. That guy has real talent. I assumed these were fin de siecle paintings, but Razumov was born in 1974.

I have a nice antique book table in my living room, which still has a little stick figure scratched into the side from a 3 year old who got hold of a screwdriver - over the years it's gotten kind of cute.

and even at the time I couldn't be too mad. I remember a time when I was young, and I discovered that if you put the point of a Philips screwdriver on wood and hit it with a hammer, you could make beautiful little stars and even constellations if you did it enough.

In my pipe-smoking days I collected and used mostly briars. But I did have one calabash. Too big to carry anywhere, so I only smoked it at home. 'Twould have been nice to have a fireplace, so I could have stretched out in my armchair and puffed on a pipe like Sherlock Holmes or Ellery Queen.

90 I like these Low Country still life paintings. This one is not as brilliant for color or lush but it is a beautifully done simple scene done with the same skill I admire. The simple colors, the detail (except for whatever the hell is in the bowl) and the clean lines make for a relaxed painting that could fit in many rooms. Pleasant and effective.

CBD, thanks for this wonderful image to start off the week.

When I did photography (film of course because I'm a curmudgeon) creating and capturing still life images was my favorite style.

Polliwog,
These would be clay pipes, commonly available at a tavern. The bowls are smaller because tobacco was not as available in Holland compared to England. Also, the tobacco back then would have been a slow smoke. The larger bowls were more common in the colonies.

From a late episode of Cheers:

Carla is castigating the bar crowd, Cliff and Norm, for distracting Kevin McHale with bar trivia. "Sure, first it's how many bolts in the Boston Garden floor, but then it'll be 'If the Brady Bunch crashed in the Andes, who would they eat first to survive?' "

Woody: "Well, they'd eat the maid first, since she's not kin."

Cliff: "If they're smart, they'll ask her first how best to prepare herself."

The small brass box contains the tobacco, initially imported from Borneo or Madagascar, later on from diverse platforms.

The small pewter roundish container on the table contains a hot coal of anthracite. This would smolder for hours, serving as a pocket lighter, warmer, or heater for branding tools to punish insolent slaves.

The bowl contains the first season growth of fermented dwarf jizz, generally infused with churches and lead.

Small bits could be broken off and nibbled but due to its extreme gastric irritating qualities it was more likely to be poop shooted or inserted into small pouches cut into the skin.

More advanced practitioners would occasionally inject it into the eyeball, a difficult undertaking in this day and age when hypodermic syringes and needles were made of oxen penis and thorns from the giant apoplexy tree...

134 Meerschaum pipes are the big S-shaped ones Sherlock Holmes is incorrectly shown using. He'd have used clay stem pipes like the painting's and correctly used by the Jeremy Brett Holmes -- the best portrayal ever IMHO.

In the Brit archaeology shows like Time Team Victorian sites/levels always have discarded, broken clay pipes in them.

P.S. In just checking the spelling of 'Jeremy', I see that his dad was a war hero with several bravery decorations. Cool.

135 .. "I wonder if the pipes are meershaum. If so, they are practically new. The bowls seem really small as well, not like the English pipes I'm used to seeing."

Polliwog,
These would be clay pipes, commonly available at a tavern. The bowls are smaller because tobacco was not as available in Holland compared to England. Also, the tobacco back then would have been a slow smoke. The larger bowls were more common in the colonies.
Posted by: JTB

Iirc, tavern pipes were to be "borrowed" while at the tavern. When a new person borrowed it, the would break off the "used" tip from the previous person. That's why they were made from clay.

Your bitch-slapping of the resident dungheap reminded me of my visit to Food Lion this past week. As I was walking toward the pork cooler to sift through the $.99/lb shoulder butts on sale whilst dutifully donning my county-mandated quasi-burka (homemade contraption crafted from old Hanes boxer-briefs, natch), I quickly surmised that the guy next to me either had just cut an horrific fart or was walking around with crap-filled drawers.

At that moment, all I could think of were the early reports of Chinese Lung AIDS being spread via flatulence over incredible distances. Also, how next-to-worthless these stupid fucking masks are.

146 BTW, those long stem clay pipes make for a very smooth, tasty smoke. The stem lets the smoke cool a bit and clay absorbs the tars allowing for the tobacco flavor to come through. By their shape and features, those pipes can only be smoked in a relaxed fashion suitable for a nice time.

195 Meerschaum pipes are the big S-shaped ones Sherlock Holmes is incorrectly shown using. He'd have used clay stem pipes like the painting's and correctly used by the Jeremy Brett Holmes -- the best portrayal ever IMHO.

Agreed about Brett. However, "meerschaum" is a mineral, and the term "meerschaum pipe" is usually applied to one where the bowl is made out of meerschaum. The big "S-shaped" one is called a calabash: the bowl is meerschaum, but the body into which the bowl fits is made from a calabash, a gourd.

You're right, Holmes is usually shown in the original illustrations with a briar or a clay pipe. He did smoke a cigarette in one scene in the first novel, and I think one episode of the Brett series showed that.

I think the word "meerschaum" is Dutch. It's supposed to mean "sea foam" -- I guess because the mineral is white when the pipe is new. It turns a lovely yellow-brown over time as you smoke it. The calabash is a good pipe because it allows the smoke to really cool before it gets to your mouth.

239 Just FYI:

The usual Sherlock Holmes pipe is a calabash. It's a shaped gourd with a meerschaum bowl to hold the tobacco. They are meant to be held in the hand since they are difficult to hold between clenched teeth.

Meerschaum is a mineral that can be easily carved into a smoking pipe shape, traditionally paired with an amber mouthpiece. (Think Lee Van Cleef in the Sergio Leone westerns.) They are rather fragile but provide a great smoke. Them material is white but will darken to dark gold and brown with use as it absorbs oils from your hand and smoke.

The clay pipes were VERY inexpensive to make and provide a nice smoke. They are rather thin so can't be held by the bowl, only the stem.

Meerschaum is the mineral Sepiolite, which is a magnesium silicate clay mineral. Pipes made from it were often ornately carved. Briar came into common use in the mid-1800's, and I suspect Holmes would have used a briar.

As far as malicious computer hacking is concerned, the most recent breach of security at Iran's nuclear facilities may not be very serious... unless you hate the music of Australian rock band AC/DC.

It has been alleged that unidentified computer hackers have forced workers at two of the country's controversial nuclear facilities to endure AC/DC's hit song Thunderstruck repeatedly - and at full volume - sometimes in the middle of the night.

Of course, there has been no confirmation of the attack from Iran - the evidence stems from a series of e-mails purporting to be from the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran.

But when the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issues an emergency directive for a perfect 10, critical, Windows Server vulnerability, the urgency meter goes off the scale.

This is a vulnerability that could enable an attacker with network access to gain admin status by sending a string of zeros using the Windows Netlogon protocol. A vulnerability that, CISA said, must be assumed as being actively exploited in the wild.

No, this isn't right. I *guarantee* you that you have met - and probably even personally known - Republicans. But you see, your lunatic fringe controls the public communications space, and has all the advantages and so your shrill vocal dominance means that you have destroyed the ability of discourse to reflect the society in which you are embedded.

Rather than trying to get the cops to kick all those Republicans out, I strongly recommend that you put on your shoes, go outside, and try talking to one or two of them. It's a Republican-dominated event, so you're not going to get beaten up or set on fire. Instead of panicking in your false safe space, try doing what the Left always claims it is doing. Try having a conversation.

Robert - How about a status report?

Down on the coast, of course, the tobacco was flue cured, so the barns were very aromatic. I recall going out in the wee hours with my grandfather to check the burners. Most of his barns still had by-then-unused fireplaces in them.

I've picked tobacco, topped tobacco, and put it up in the barns. When just a little kid, my job was to hitch and unhitch from the mules the sleds that were used to transport the picked tobacco in the fields to the pack house.

We need a "Shove it up your ass" emoji.

We grew tobacco for a long time. When I was a young'n I had to stake it and then hang it in the barn to dry. I preferred working with it over tomatoes though, because the spray we put on the mater plants made me itch.

Robert - How about a status report?

Down on the coast, of course, the tobacco was flue cured, so the barns were very aromatic. I recall going out in the wee hours with my grandfather to check the burners. Most of his barns still had by-then-unused fireplaces in them.

I've picked tobacco, topped tobacco, and put it up in the barns. When just a little kid, my job was to hitch and unhitch from the mules the sleds that were used to transport the picked tobacco in the fields to the pack house.
-----------------------
My high school used to let farm kids skate during harvest. Tobacco was their families only cash crop. Pretty sure Raleigh doesn't do that anymore.

347 It is amazing the number of armchair physicians who
can diagnose and make treatment decisions for a patient based on nothing
more than sketchy media reports.

Posted by: Cat Ass Trophy

And these same physicians are utterly invested in a specific unquestionable hypothesis and condemn any who question their "science".

Scary. Would not make an appointment with any of them.

Hi CBD,

I believe the top of the line Arturo Fuentes cigars (an occasional treat) use Connecticut wrappers.

Again, thanks for today's art selection.

I want to send a document for Patty to review.

Let's start with a smiley face emoji and "Good morning Patty!"

After she replies, send "can you please help me with this document." We're asking for her to help which is imposing on her time and sort of demanding, so let's add an emoji, or better yet this really cute cat gif to soften the aggressive help request"
Wow.

Howdy Mike! I'm doin fine, thanks. The CT scan I had a couple of weeks ago showed the tumor sizes down 30% after 5 chemo treatments, so it's heading in the right direction. Side effects are still minimal, so I been lucky there.

I see on WLOS web page that there's been people shooting at houses and cars in the 200 block of Deaverview Road. Imagine my shock at reading this, as I have been assured that the denizens of this area are completely peaceful and would never resort to violence.
